Online Voters Help Shelters Reach Their Goal in a Record Four Days

Muscatine, IA - December 18, 2012 -- Two Southeast animals shelters will each receive 15,000-pounds of free World's Best Cat Litter™ as a result of a four-day GiveLitter™ charity effort that saw record support from online cat lovers.

The latest round of GiveLitter™ benefits the SPCA of Wake County in North Carolina and the Greater Birmingham Humane Society in Alabama. Both shelters will receive 15,000 lbs. of all-natural litter and 100 trial kits to support their adoption efforts.

Online voters cast 30,000 votes between December 10-14 to ensure both shelters received the maximum amount of litter in a GiveLitter™ round that focused on the Southeast. The latest round is part of a multi-phase campaign that aims to donate 150,000-pounds of World's Best Cat Litter™ to shelters across the United States by the end of 2013.

Cat lovers supported the charity by visiting www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/givelitter to cast votes in support of the shelter of their choice. Participants voted daily to donate free litter to the two shelters. The effort was slated to take a week, but only lasted four days when overwhelming support resulted in the goal being reached in a record four days.

"We are thrilled with the level of support shown in our most recent GiveLitter™ round and it shows just how committed our fans are to partnering with us to support animal shelters across the country," said Jean Broders, Brand Manager of World's Best Cat Litter™.

Since its inception GiveLitter™ has helped cat enthusiasts donate more than 232,000-pounds of free cat litter to deserving shelters across the United States.
